Thursday Devotional - God is With Us in Our Burdens

What burdens do you have right now? Does the Christmas season wear you down with all the decorating, family gatherings, missing loved ones, gift purchases, and Christmas cards? I know I feel way behind this year on what I “need” to do.

We don’t have to feel burdened. Jesus calls us to come to Him to find rest. It may include physical rest, but more importantly He offers spiritual rest and most importantly He promises eternal rest for our souls!  

Matthew 11:28-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

As believers, we are yoked with Jesus. We can let Him do the driving. He knows where He wants us to go and how best to get there. He can also help us know what things on our plate we can cut out!

How will you and I take our burdens to Jesus this week? Then, let’s listen to and learn from Him to experience true rest this season!
